Pros:
My son plays 11u elite ball he is about 5'4" and weight 130lbs, I bought him the 32/23 Mako and he loves it. The first batting practice he used it he hit one off the fence and one over the fence. All the kids on the team were checking out the bat after practice.Cons:None yet, just used it for one practice so far.

I play high school ball and I am 5 ft 6 inch 140 pounds. Which bat would be best for me? I need a drop 3 but they throw 90 mph and I am just behind the ball.

The Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14MK9) is not BBCOR approved. For your height and weight our charts are recommending a 32". I would recommend finding a very balanced design to help increase bat speed. A couple of balanced models that I would recommend is the 2015 Easton MAKO BBCOR (BB15MK), 2015 Rawlings VELO BBCOR (BBRVB), and the 2015 Marucci CAT 6 BBCOR (MCBC614).

My son is 11 and is 5'1" and 110 lbs. He played with the 2 1/4" Mako 31" 21 oz. bat last year and had very good swing speed and power. This year he can now use a 2 5/8" bat. I am looking at the Easton XL1 (31/26 or 30/25), Mako 31/22 and the Louisville Prime 915 (31/26 or 30/25). Which one do you recommend?

All of these bats would be good options. The XL1 is going to have a more end-loaded feel compared to the other two so if you are looking to add a little more power to his swing that may be a good option. The Prime 915 isn't going to have the extended barrel of the XL1 but will swing much more balanced. Ultimately I would go for the Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14MK9) due to the fact that he's been using one and doing well with it. Also it features the extended barrel of the XL1 while maintaining a more balanced swing weight.

What are the biggest differences in the SL15MK9 and the SL15MK10? My son swings a 29" 19 oz. S1 now.

The Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14MK9) will feature a two-piece composite design similar to the Easton S1. However, the MAKO does have a larger sweet spot and feels more end-loaded than the S1. In terms of performance, I would give the MAKO the edge. The SL15MK9 features a 2 5/8" barrel diameter as well as the drop 9 length to weight ratio. The SL15MK10B features a 2 3/4" barrel diameter as well as the drop 10 length to weight ratio. Easton does tend to change the sizes, diameters and drop weights offered each year based off of what has been successful in past years, as well as what they think will be successful in the future.
